My Turtle Mania game featured a bizarre and extremely niche new gameplay idea.

And that is where a new (?) concept or game idea was born: chain capturing.  At the upper right, the Floating Stone of Tsai’s fleet was able to capture the remaining two ships of the other Jade fleet by herself (Hansan Island had been recently sunk).  Back and fort…

In a long-overdue experiment, I have added an eBay RSS feed to the Forum sidebar at the bottom.  Apparently there isn’t a way to make the images for the listings display there, but that would probably just slow the pages down anyway.  I checked the speed of the forum page after the change and it didn’t show any slowdown.  I will probably si…[Read more]

That’s why they get “removed from the game” instead of “eliminated”. They’re not dead, and they could very well find their way home again, but it won’t happen quickly enough to affect the current game.

Interesting insight.

If there weren’t any friendly ships nearby, maybe the enemy ship that just blasted the sinking ship could take prisoners that…

@xeriousone: Seems you made out reasonably well.  $7 (US)/pack is about average for SCS.

Few lots ending today, and then it will be interesting to see what the DJC LE’s go for.  Seems to be a little less demand for LE’s like that the past few years (I think), maybe because more and more collectors are satisfied over the years and a lot of those s…[Read more]

When do you think these things will start jumping drastically in price?

I’m not convinced it will be sudden and drastic.  I think it will be more slow and steady as it has mostly been for the past ~3-4 years or so.  Some packs have already gone up in price; CC and DJC have become much harder to find, and SCS always commands top dollar.  I think th…[Read more]

Hadn’t heard of it but looks nice!
